I’ve got nothing but good things to say about the new Band of Horses “Cease to Begin” [doh]. I find the album totally entrancing and it’s one of my favorites of the year. But admittedly their songs are not super upbeat. Like their lead singer, I’m more than happy to listen to sad songs and wallow.

I didn’t grow these wings to hang around…
– “Silver Dreams” Blackie & The Rodeo Kings
You’re the cocaine in my veins…
– “You’re the Cocaine” Joshua James
I’d like to think I’m a mess you’d wear with pride…
-Band of Horses “I Go to the Barn Because I Like the”
Listening to their old album all day long in preparation for buying the new one from iTunes tonight!!
Let my heart be the part by which you judge me.
Like the sun in everyone, it is pure.
–Jeremy Fisher “Lay Down (Ballad of Rigoberto Alpizar)” Goodbye Blue Monday
Rhymefest and O.D.B. doing “Build Me Up, Buttercup.” With, of course, some rappin’ thrown in between choruses (some in the form of “letters” from Rhymefest to O.D.B.). I’m just sittin here giggling and giggling as I listen. This ranks right up there with Jonathan Coulton’s “Baby Got Back” cover.
(It’s on Rhymefest’s album “Blue Collar” purchased immediately after seeing his superfun set at Lollapalooza.)
Give me the mumps and I’ll give you the plague…
-Kyle Andrews “Moon Tea”
“I’m going to start blogging. I’m going to go for it!
As soon as I learn how to turn the computer on…”

God strike me with a urine-soaked newspaper if I ever do this drug again…
–from an article in July issue of The Sun. Let me flip back and see… “Methamphetamine for Dummies” by Poe Ballantine. I haven’t actually read any of this yet, the page just flipped open to this as I was picking up my mail the other day (like two weeks ago! doh!).
Gomez was singing “I love this island, but this island’s killing me”
But I heard “I love this silence, but this silence’s killing me.”
Too funny.
